A client came for a French bob but stayed for a pixie cut as a part of her two-stage hair transformation journey.
Going shorter can sometimes be scary because of the major change to your length and styling routine. So, how about taking it slow this time and removing only an inch or two of your hair before you are ready for a big chop?
For Jayne Matthews’s client, this idea seems to be particularly appealing when she decides to go for a short bob before fully committing to a pixie. Watch this incredible hair transformation and get inspired to embrace your short hairstyle whenever you are up for a change!
The hair specialist can’t hide her excitement when sharing her now regular client’s hair transformation journey. Her original request was to make her long bob hairstyle shorter while enhancing her natural hair texture. She asks for it – she gets it!
The stylist offers a smooth and extremely flattering transition from a classic mom bob cut to a more textured and dynamic French bob. With a new crop accentuating cheekbones and lending some volume at the back and the top of her head, the client feels much younger.
“Once you get a taste of short hair freedom, you just can’t stop,” Jayne Matthews comments as she welcomes her client three months later. Now, she is ready to join the short hair club proper and try an edgy pixie cut with bangs. Given that the client has straight, coarse hair, the hair pro needs to remove a ton of bulk before giving the pixie its signature shape.
This effect is achieved with the razor technique that makes the hair appear more voluminous while keeping the ends thin and defined. The end result is a textured haircut that looks modern and stylish. The hair community approves and actively comments on the hair makeover. “Women, especially young women, are afraid of short hair for some reason – so few have it but all these cuts look stylish and adorable,” one follower shares. “The short hair freedom is something you cannot take back!!!! I absolutely LIVE by it,” another person agrees.
Don’t be afraid to try a short hairstyle next time. All you need to do is find your comfortable length and ask your hairdresser to give you some styling tips for a stunning look.
